Was told today a company by the name of Devon had a significant lease holding in parish, but check of their website indicated leases in Texas and around Webster Parish, but nothing in Sabine. Anyone familiar with this company? Does it have a presence in Sabine Parish?
Actually one of the better companies out there as far as drilling expertise is concerned. When they purchased Mitchell Energy, Devon ended up being one of, if not the main, pioneer companies out there to develop horizontal drilling techniques. Very active thoughout Texas part of the play, but seem to also now making some movement into LA as well.
Devon stated they are exploring in the "Southern Area" of the play. They define this as being Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Sabine Counties and Sabine Parish. Devon doesn't drag their feet from what I've seen.
